A MASTER OF LITERATURE.

Boston Post: Appropos of Thack-
eray's letters, which continue to ex-
cite much interest, | heard the other
day of an incident which illustrates
in a striking manner, the fascination
of his novels. A lady of my acquaint-
ance, here in Boston, a great reader
of fiction, and one of those fortunate
people who are able to lose them
selves completely in book, told me
that Thackeray's works were her
only alienation while suffering re-
Gently from severe attack of rheu-
matism. She gave me graphic de-
scription OF herself, propped up in
bed by means of pillows, groaning
with pain, and reading the big library
edition of Vanity Fair" held in
front Of her by the nurse.
This was sight more eloquent
than any panegyric, and it is thou
sand pities if Thackeray did not see
it from those shades where he wan
ders, ! suppose, in company with
Fielding, Cervantes and Steele.

LEGEND OFrHEBLARNEY STONE

WHEN good ST. Patrick lived and ruled
The "E herald Isle" in love.
He taught that men should emulate
The eagle and the dove.
Tha. brave in aotien they should be,
And deeds of valor do,
Do gentle rs the dove in speech,
And ever kind and true:
Once as he passed along the street
An angry man was seen,
And bitter curses FRI IN his lips
Shocked the sRint | ween,
Fori 0 said, "As penance thou shalt 80,
And climb yOn caste tower,
And kiss the over hanging stone
Today, once every hour.
Poor Dennis went. and cursing still
His enemies, asceBded,
But when his lips first touched the stone
All bitterness was ended,
And streams of honied words came forth
In sweetest benediction,
On high and low, on rich and poor,
without the least restriction,
And as tho clock chimed thr- ugh the day
Within that fortress tower,
Across the awful chasm, he
Would kiss, and mark the hour.
Then, when the sun had gone to rest,
His fearful TAX sompleted,
At good St. Patrick's feet he knelt,
And grateful Irayers repeated.
And now, tho moral we shall find
In this. If | may venture:
Our hearts grow soft in view Of death,
We lose all thoughts of censure.
So to this day, whom words of praise
Or hattery men utter,
"Sure he bath kissed the BlArney Stone
An Irishmau will mutter.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

PRorERLY considered, the woman
suffrage movement is, or should be, ef
tie proioundest interest to all the
friends of labor reform. The ballot
always elevates and improves the in
dustrial condition Il the persons hold
ing it. The negro was freed without
being enfranchised, but IL was his
ballot that put him on an equal foot
ing with the white man In the labor
market. That women today are sub
jet to inequalities of condition, unjust
determination "a to wsges and terms
Of labor, as compared with men, is a
fact That with the ballot in their
hands these inequalities and unjust
determinations would cease is, we be-
ieye, certsin.

Several ladies presented themselves
at the city clerks Office to register
their names in order that they might
vote at the spring election, The clerk
informed them that the registration
law by which he is governed only pro-
vides for the registration of male citi-
zens. The ladies, who were under the
impression that all was now smooth
sailing, were considerably disappoint-
ed. They were not to be baffled in this
way. however, and at once began to
inquire what was necessary to be done.
They were informed that change in
the registration law was the shortest
cut, and they left declaring their de-
termination of having the matter at

Government Printing.

We have been asked by so many of
the democrats of this county why the
officials at the United States Land
Office at Larned gave half the land
Office notices to the Register, repub-
lican paper, that we have determined
to. refer to the matter publicly. Dur
ing the past year. the number of
notices received at the two offices, the
DEMOCRAT and Register, has not great
ly varied, with probably slight pre-
ponderance in favor of the DEMOCRAT.
At present, taking our issue of the
18th, the number is exactly equal
We will frankly say to our readers
that we know of no reason why a
paper that has never omitted an op-
portunity to fight the democratic
party should receive any considerable
portion of the public printing sent
out from that Office, except that it is
the will of the register of that Office.
We had once understood that the de-
partment at Washington desired the
various offices TO distribute the public
printing to papers of both parties.
But Commissioner Sparks in a private
letter advises us that there is nc such
ruling or desire ON the part of the de-
partment.
The truth is there is no reason why
the I democratic papers Of Kansas
should not receive recognition from the
officials whom they helped to make.
As 90 our own labors for the party,
while they may not have been SO con-
spicuous as those of our present
officials, yet they were none the less
sincere or arduous. And when We
were a stranger we submitted to those
in authority, ample proof Of the sound:
ness Of our political faith. When we
came here our democracy was vOuched
for by such men as Senator Maxey,
of Texas; Gov. Leslie, of Kentucky,
and Congressman McMillin. of Tenn
essee, and since we have been here we
will stand by tie record we have
made. Therefore, il can not be that
our party fealty was at any time sus-
pected.
By virtue of the democratic victory
of '84 the Offices at Larned are filled
with democrats, and by virtue of the
same victory democratic journals
should receive the public printing.
They have right to expect it, not as
a favor, but as their just due. It is a
sad day for the democracy Of Kansas
when our federal appointees are under
such obligations to the republican
press that they are compelled TO divide
the little they have to give. It may
be that what we have said will lose us
the poor pittance We now receive from
the land Office. IF SO be. let it go. {
The DEMOCRAT does not flourish in the
smiles of the land Office officials, and
their frowns will not kill it. There is
no law or ruling against democratic
receiving their just rights, but
there is a certain vigorous epistle
extant liz regard to federal officials
trying to control political nominations
for congress, or otherwise.
